WTF @ TFW – 650 – TFcon LA – March 9 2025

LIVE on location from the surprisingly rainy streets of Burbank, the WTF @ TFW crew is here for a special TFCON LA 2025 episode of the podcast! Join us as Vangelus sits down with an exhausted Aaron, TJ and Bees as the show winds down and collapses both around and with them. Notes from the Hive: Thank you for joining us for this on-location live recording of WTF @ TFW. Due to the live nature of the episode, there’s gonna be some audio quality differences and maybe some slight language. I don’t remember, it was an exhausting week. I’m *still* tired. A big special thanks to all of those who approached the four of us over the TFCon weekend! Without listeners and their support for the crew both past and present, this show wouldn’t be what it is today. Both TJ and Vangelus have posted videos about larger TFCon adventures on their YouTube channels. You should check them out. Aaron doesn’t have an active YouTube and instead will be psychically barraging you with images of Disneyland for the next 11 months. Oh, here comes one now! As always, you can find our hosts on BlueSky and Elon’s nightmare social media platform under the names @Vangelus, @TJOmega and @aksmth Sad about the lack of full haul breakdowns? Don’t worry! Did you know the podcast crew does a Transformers podcast? I wonder where you could find that. iTunes users – Our show can be found at the link below, and it’s also where you can subscribe and give us a review!

WTF @ TFW – 649 – December 11 2024

With Vangelus all by his lonesome for this episode of WTF @ TFW? I’m not sure exactly how well this is goi- Wait, do you hear that? Bah Gawd, that’s Seth Buzzard’s music! I mean if he’s gonna show up, we might as well catch up and see how he’s been over the last five years. Notes from the Hive: Special thanks to Seth for coming by and catching up with the podcast after all this time. We’ll see you again in 2029. There are no timestamps to this episode due to the topics ebbing and flowing back into each other. They’ll be back next time. Maybe. It was alluded to in Episode 648, but this episode was recorded a day or two before the prior one. It just didn’t feel right having Seth return on an Even Numbered podcast, you know? iTunes users – The podcast is easily available via the Apple Podcast app, but you can also subscribe to our show, and give the podcast a review at the link below.
